Ron Paul Rewind: Iran Sanctions Are ‘One More Step to Another War We Don’t Need’

A week after a joint session of the United States Congress gave repeated standing ovations to Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as he scaremongered Americans regarding Iran and as legislation to impose yet more sanctions on Iran is being pushed in the Congress, it is a good time to revisit then-Rep. Ron Paul’s August 1, 2012 speeches on the US House of Representatives floor in opposition to US sanctions on Iran. Paul’s observations, including that sanctions are “one more step to another war that we don’t need,” are as true now as they were nearly three years ago.
